      So, end of this is that as the licenses are under a subscription agreement, then they are now not valid.
      Oh well.

      But thanks folks,
      Jim

        No, that is completely not how MS licensing works.

          Chris (Microsoft) over at Spiceworks has confirmed for me that when the subscription ended, if these were ever installed, they should be removed.

              You provided different information there (did not follow the SW links before).

              Yes, Open Value Subscription is different than a standard Open Value Agreement.

                  I admit, that based on your OP, I just assumed a standard OV agreement. OVS is super rare in the SMB.

                    It's rare anywhere it's only allowed for networks with up to 250 computers.

                      Just fixing things here. Not really tackled licenses before. Previous lot of people didn't really take care of licenses and just let the supplier gget whatever...

                        Next renewal we will either get perpetual so we own, or go cloud where the price of the OS is included in the rental.
